In his first budget as chancellor of the exchequer, Philip Hammond will be prepared to help families who are “just about managing” as the government tries to make good on Theresa May’s promise to improve the lives of ordinary workers.
The prime minister has asked Hammond to send a strong signal that the government will take action to help families who are “working around the clock” to make ends meet.
Policies under consideration including freezing fuel duty for motorists, boosting support for childcare and helping low-income families to save – and Hammond will also confirm that he will meet several Conservative manifesto pledges, including increasing the tax-free personal allowance.
Is your family just managing or are you a pensioner struggling to get by? What will the autumn statement do for you?
